I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, full of light, and had excellent reverse cycle heating and cooling. The bathroom was well-equipped and the working desk was a bonus. The only downside was that the upstairs room had a slight upkeep issue, but overall, it was a comfortable stay.

I had a fantastic time at this hotel! The rooms were excellent with great fittings and a comfortable bed, but unfortunately, it was very noisy despite the attempt with sound reduction panels on the ceiling. The service was top-notch, and I will definitely be visiting again in the future.
